INTENSIFICATION OF TRANS-BORDER COOPERATION - FROM PRIMARY CARE TO EMERGENCY CARE
Journal Title: Българско списание за обществено здраве (Bulgarian Journal of Public Health) - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Cross-border cooperation between the Rhodope Region, Northern Greece and Kardzhali Region, Bulgaria dates back as far as over ten years, with actual achievements of several successfully completed projects. A major role in this cooperation is played by the largest hospitals in these two regions located in Komotini and Kardzhali. Development of regional infrastructure, availability of transport corridor and border checkpoints in the Makaza pass have increased challenges to medical institutions, including response to emergency incidents and road traffic accidents. A new project is proposed with the aim to create a bridge between the primary care and emergency care on both sides of the border by improving the response capacity of health institutions under emergency conditions.
